The whistling north wind was blowing wildly, and goose-feather snowflakes were falling, so that visibility on the ground was so low that anything three feet away was almost invisible

A huge blizzard, just when everyone was unprepared, suddenly came.

The weather outside was so bad, but the lights inside the Xingli Hall were bright, and it didn't seem to be affected at all.

"I can't go back!"

Yakumo Lan looked out the window at the vast snow and kept sighing.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and she realized that there was not enough fuel for the cold at home. Hurriedly ran to find Mori Kinrinnosuke, but was sadly told that he had little fuel left. Originally, these items were all provided by Yakumo Murasaki, but this year, Yakumo Purple hadn't been to the present world many times, and he didn't bring any fuel back at all.

There was no way, and in the end, Yakumo Lan had to try his luck in the Xingli Palace.

Luckily, though, she had the fuel she needed.

After finding what they needed, Yakumo Blue and Orange were in no hurry to leave, and played in the Xingli Hall for a long time, but when they were about to go back to the Lost House, they found that it was snowing outside again. I thought it would stop soon, but who knew that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, but the two of them were trapped.

"Okay, there's no way to go back anyway, so it's better to stay!"

Seeing her worried, I said to her.

"It's just the two of you going back anyway. ”

"Hmm. ”

Yakumo Lan thought about it, and felt that what the other party said was right, Yakumo Zi was not there, and even if she went back, there was nothing she needed to do.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you again. ”

"Everyone is an acquaintance, so there is no need to say these kind words. ”

Reddy looked out the window at the dim world, and she was also worried, although she liked winter the most, but if it was such a terrible wind and snow, she couldn't do anything.

"It's strange why the snow is so heavy this year, and it's coming too early. ”

Such a large snowstorm is very rare, and it is unlikely that it will occur at such a time.

"yes, I don't know why?"

Yakumo Lan also nodded, fortunately he found fuel, otherwise this winter would have been very difficult.

"This is Gensokyo's self-regulation!"

I held the book in one hand, held up the cup in the other, and quickly picked up the teapot to fill it.

"Hey, do you know anything, Lord Dongfang?"

Hearing me say this, Yakumo Lan suddenly became interested.

"For some reason, the seasons in Gensokyo are very unusual this year! Spring rains are uneven, summer is hotter and drier than usual, autumn is too long, and winter comes very late. ”

"yes. ”

Yakumo nodded.

"And, it's likely to continue forever. ”

"Are you sure?"

Yakumo Lan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked,

"What's wrong?

Reddy has always been present in winter, and she only has a very vague idea of the other seasons.

"If this continues, the season in Gensokyo will be chaotic. ”

Yakumo Blue said in a low voice, her brow furrowed even tighter.

"What? Isn't that dangerous?"

"yes, so in order to keep that from happening, Gensokyo, oh no, it should be this world, is trying its best to adjust this deviation back. ”

I closed the book and placed it on the table.

"It is to speed up the release of winter energy so that next spring can arrive on time, so that the deviation of the season can be corrected. ”

Yakumo Blue blinked and said.

"This winter's going to be very short!"

Hearing my words, Reddy was stunned for a moment.

The violent wind and snow raged for a whole night before it finally stopped. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight of this winter finally shone on the land of Gensokyo.

As soon as they saw the sun come out, everyone couldn't hold back and couldn't wait to go outside.

"Put your hat on, or your ears will be cold. ”

Seeing that Otonashi Chiba didn't pull the hat of the fur coat on, I quickly reminded him.

"Decimal, where's your glove?"

"I don't need to. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

I was about to grab Lumia when she was already running out quickly.

"Really. ”

I shook my head and pulled out a pair of gloves and handed them to Mystia.

"Wait a minute, remember to let her put it on. ”

"I see, Master. ”

"It's cold. ”

Outside, Ligelu couldn't help but shiver, she didn't expect the temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the house to be so big. Although she was not afraid of winter, the cold weather still made her feel unbearable.

"Put this on. ”

I took out a scarf and wrapped it around her neck.

"Thank you, Master. ”

Ligrau lowered her head and touched the scarf around her neck.

"But then again, it was really heavy yesterday!"

A thick layer of snow fell on the roof, the ground, and the trees, and as far as the eye could see, there was a white expanse everywhere, and the white snowflakes were trampled on, making a "crunching" sound.

The pool in front of the Xingli Hall has turned into an ice sculpture, and no water is spurting out.

Cirno knocked on it a few times, and it felt hard.

"Master, this thing is frozen!

"Don't worry, as soon as the sun shines, it will thaw. ”

I moved my body a bit, and the winter sun was shining on my body, and I felt very comfortable.

"Oh. ”

Rubbing her head, Kirunor jumped off the pool.

"Hey, stupid, let's have a snowball fight!"

"What?"

As soon as the girl turned her head, she was hit by a snowball, and the snowflakes fell down her neck, and if she wasn't an ice goblin, she would definitely jump up in the cold.

"Damn, you bad guy, you dare to sneak up on me. ”

Qi Luno was furious, bent down and made a large snowball, and threw it at Otoni Chiba with all his might.

Unfortunately, it didn't hit.

"Hahaha, you idiot, what the hell are you aiming at? Ouch!"

It didn't take long for Otono Chiba to be proud, and he was hit by another snowball.

"yes, Lumia got a point. ”

"Damn, don't be complacent, look at how good I am. ”

"Haha, I didn't. ”

Seeing them having so much fun, Marisa couldn't help but pout.

"Hmph, I even like to play snowball fights, what a bunch of little ghosts who don't grow up. ”

"Marisa, Ligru, let's play together!"

"Hmmm......"

"It's coming. ”

Marisa, who had a disdainful look on her face just now, immediately ran over like a rabbit.

"You little devils, let's take a look at this girl's invincible pitching skills!"

"Wow!"

"Boom. ”

Looking at the snowballs flying in the sky over there, I immediately shook my head.

"Lord Lan, let's go play too. ”

"Ah, okay. ”

"Haruka-sama, aren't you coming along?"

"Well, go play by yourselves, leave me alone. ”

"Then Lord Dongfang, we will be out of company first. ”

"Haruka-sama, let's go play meow first. ”

"Have fun, kitten. ”

Yakumo Blue pulled Orange and walked away, leaving me with only Reddy, Mystia, and Hikari Sisters.

Secretly looked around, looked at the roof of the Xingli Palace, and suddenly nodded.

"There must be a lot of snow on the rooftop, so let's clean it up. ”

"Hey, but I want to play with them too!"

"No, you can't play until you're done. ”

"Woo......"

"Wait a minute, I'll go and help too. ”

Misty hurried after the two of them.

"No, Miss Mia, just leave this to the two sisters, and you can play with Miss Marisa and them to your heart's content. ”

Darkness bowed politely to her, and dragged the light to the roof.

Misty stayed where she was for a moment, and finally ran towards the others.

Walked over to the benches placed under the trees in the Xingli Palace, and with a wave of his hand, he blew away the snow on them.

I sat down in my chair and stretched out.

"Sit down, too. ”

Seeing that Reddy was still standing there, I said to her.

"Ah, okay. ”

Reddy quickly sat down and stared intently at the group of people who were having a snowball fight. Seeing Kirino fall to the ground with a snowball, her hands clenched, but she couldn't help but laugh again when she saw the little fool get up quickly.

"Thank you. ”

“？”

I looked at her, wondering why she had suddenly thanked me.

"Thank you very much Mr. Dongfang for taking such pains to take care of Qiluno for so long. ”

Reddy turned, bent down and bowed deeply to me.

"It's nothing, since I'm that stupid master, it's my responsibility to take care of her. ”

I waved my hand and said disapprovingly.

"No, if it weren't for you, Kirino wouldn't be as happy every day as she is now. ”

Reddy looked up and looked at me very seriously.

"I was relieved to see that she now had so many friends. ”

"Well, (9) I'm lucky to have a friend like you. ”

"It's not like that. ”

Reddy smiled and shook her head.

"I'm the one who is really lucky. ”

I blinked, looked at her, and didn't speak.

"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you, I have a very strict pollen allergy, and I can't show it up outside of winter. You know, every time I show up, I can see the world, but it's only made of ice and snow, and there's no one to talk to, and that kind of loneliness is really uncomfortable. It wasn't until later that I met the kid. ”

The girl used a very flat tone to tell her past.

"Chiluno is my first and only friend, and my greatest wish is for her to be happy every day. ”

"Don't worry, with me, she won't be hurt in any way. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Light and darkness seem to have cleaned the rooftop, and the two of them carry a large bag of snow down, and are about to empty them, but are stopped by Marisa.

"Master, Reddy, come here, we're going to build a snowman. ”

"Well, here we go. ”

Reddy and I looked at each other and smiled, and got up and walked over to them.

"You two, why don't you take off your coat and put it on quickly. ”

"Don't roll on the snow......"

At night, Chiba Otonari and Lumia stood in front of me with a snot on their faces.

"I had a cold. ”
